13 vehicles stolen in past 24 hours

GURGAON: Even after the arrival of the new commissioner of police, criminals, especially car thieves, continue to have a good time in the city, as incidents of crimes go unabated. Thirteen vehicles, including 10 mobikes, two cars and a three-wheeler, were stolen in the city in the past 24 hours.

The menace of vehicle theft is especially palpable in Cyber City, where high-end, expensive cars vanish from the roads at regular intervals. Among the vehicles stolen recently, there was a Bolero and a Swift.

The stolen Bolero was parked in front of the house of Suresh Narang in Jacobpura on Wednesday.

In another incident, Ashwani Yadav, a resident of Rajiv Colony, has lodged a compliant with police saying that his Maruti Swift, which was parked in front of his house on Wednesday night, has been stolen.

The other areas the vehicle thieves struck in the last 24 hours include Sushant Lok, Sector 5, Sector 10, Kherki Dhaula and Udyog Vihar.

Gangs involved in vehicle thefts have always been active in the city. However, since the beginning of the year, they seemed to have found a renewed vigour. In the last two months since January 1, around 400 vehicle thefts have been reported in the city.

A senior police officer said they are making new plans to nab the vehicle lifters under the leadership of new police commissioner.
